Is it safe to just delete records in table "xxx_session"?

Is it safe to just delete records in table “xxx_session”? Or is this table connected to something else in the db and/or Matomo? Will the session records with a lifetime that expired be automatically removed in the DB?

During my setup of Matomo I ended up with quite many records in table “xxx_session” with a lifetime way too long, I did not have “login_cookie_expire” set in config.ini.php. I added login_cookie_expire = 1800 to get the sessions to live for 30 min.

Hi @Fred_Ahlen ,

session table is to store the login session, it will not have any impact if you delete it, only thing is user will be asked to login again login_cookie_expire set.
